Hello! I'm Fay, a freelance illustrator and surface pattern designer based in Shropshire, UK. Surrounded by lush countryside, I draw inspiration from nature – animals, flowers, landscape –, as well as the rich history of the Arts & Crafts movement. I’m particularly inspired by C.F.A Voysey’s work whose designs merged simplicity, functionality, and elegance.
Having always been a creative person, it was my love for home decor and textiles which led me to discover pattern design.  I started creating my own patterns with playful, whimsical themes in mind, aspiring to the motto of the Arts and Crafts movement: Beauty through craftsmanship.

Beautiful, Vibrant, And Full Of Life
My artwork process begins with hand-drawn sketches or painted motifs which I then refine in Photoshop. Each of my designs is unique, from delicate illustrations to intricate repeat patterns. Flora and fauna are at the heart of my work, where dreamy color palettes and organic shapes add lots of character and joy to my creations.
Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of licensing my artwork for greeting cards, fabric collection, children’s clothing and stationery. As well as working o some fantastic freelance projects.
In my portfolio you can find designs that are available for purchase or licensing – but perhaps you would prefer something tailor-made?
